I got about $70 this past summer. I have gotten lesser amounts about 6 times in the past. I am a lawyer but I had no leg up in deciding to become a member of the class. I was treated just like anyone else.

Have been notified by mail, 3 times, that items I had purchased are part of a "class action lawsuit settlement". I was instructed to sign some papers, submit them and eventually, I would get about $20.
Which reminds me of the old saying "much ado about nothing".

Usually the plaintiffs receive very small sums ,
And it seems the main purpose of the suit is to get the company to terminate some bogus / unethical business practice .
